Event

The evening will follow the same format as the popular BBC One program ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and see 10 dancers learn two dances to perform on the night. A panel of judges will score each dance, before a dance off between the top two couples which will decide the overall winner. 

As well as being entertained by the dancers, attendees will enjoy a two course meal, entertainment from Burnley College Dance, followed by dancing until late. Professional dancers from Sanderson Dance are providing our 'celeb' dancers training and expertise!
